I understand what you are saying and I agree. A photo of flowers and fruits would be more useful as that is what is needed to ID plants by a key. Many have said this same thing. I watch them grow until Frost and they never bloom or make any seed. They will get 8 to 10 feet tall. I think one must have reached 12 feet. Awesome. Strange where the seed come from. I have one tub filled with potting soil. Something desirable grew there once. Now it had 8 or 10 of those weeds. A resource is the index for gardenweb, where you can look at the list for a regional forum. OK will see what I can find. http://www.gardenweb.com/forums they will have a regional forum for that area where people post who know plants in their region. You could likely get an ID from them. I should send one or two to my State College. Surely they could give me an answer. Would like to know what is in the leaves. I might want to chew on some myself, or dry some leaves for different purposes. I appreciate the suggestions. Wayne -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.

CSdogs, plants, Dog Herb
Hi Wayne, I hesitated to respond, due to not knowing the actual name of the plant, but after reading the last of your post, where you mention that your land used to be a swamp, I decided to give it a try. We have many of those in our 'wet areas' and find them alongside streambeds too. We used to call them willow switch bushes. The horses would eat the tops and leaves, as well as some of the stem. I don't know what 'self medication' they provide, but imagine they are instinctively used, probably for tummy issues. marian Unanswered questions are not as dangerous as Unquestioned answers. My dog has been eating one specific plant ( looks like a weed ) for many years. She does not eat just one leaf, but eats them all from top to bottom.I see her doing it many times. No doubt she does it when I am not there to see it. No one has been able to identify it for me. I sent a picture to Texas A and M, and still no identify. I have a picture of it on my web site. http://www.fugitt.com/files/dog_herb.JPG and another one. http://www.fugitt.com/files/dog_herb_S1.jpg These are the same. One is larger. The second one will be faster loading on a dialup. I have many plants on my place. A live creek runs thru the property and some of my land was a swamp / marsh many years ago. It still is, when there is enough rain. Many wild herbs grown including one plant that indicates atomic radiation. I understand it is the only one that does this easily, other than the fact that enough will kill all of them I suppose. This one does it by the color of the bloom. St. Johns Wart is everywhere. I can't identify many of the plants. But, my dog singles out this one to eat. Until this continued for a few years, it did not get my attention. Someplace should analyze the leaves, if I wanted to spend the money. I have some inside connections at state colleges including the huge nutrition research department at LSU. Maybe I need to use my resources. Some of you may be able to identify the dog herb for me. Wayne -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.

Out of hundreds of plants, she always selects this one, nothing else. She is 10 years old, reasonably healthy. Wayne -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.

I will spend more time there and may find the identity of the plant. This is difficult without seeing the flower. Hope that helps. Further help will require a consulting fee. Many ask about the flower. I have never seen a flower on any one of the plants. They grow 7 to 8 feet tall before fall.I will keep watching for a bloom. Maybe it takes hot weather. If so, they should bloom this year. Wayne
